After brief remarks from her Prince, royal-to-be Middleton poured champagne over the "Hereford Endeavor."

The duo -- stealing smiles and glances at one another throughout -- then greeted locals and dignitaries. "They are a lovely couple. He is a great lad and she is a beautiful girl," townswoman Jean Critchley told the Associated Press.

On Friday, the couple will go to their alma mater, the University of St. Andrews in Scotland -- where they first met and fell in love.
